A combination of nuclear resonance vibrational spectroscopy (NRVS), FTIR spectroscopy, and DFT calculations was used to observe and characterize Fe-H/D bending modes in CrHydA1 [FeFe]-hydrogenase Cys-to-Ser variant C169S. Mutagenesis of cysteine to serine at position 169 changes the functional group adjacent to the H-cluster from a -SH to -OH, thus altering the proton transfer pathway. The catalytic activity of C169S is significantly reduced compared to that of native CrHydA1, presumably owing t ...[more]
